From Information World Review:
In a momentous century for the UK, one which saw the beginnings of the industrial revolution, the loss of the American colonies and the abolition of slavery in an era often considered as the golden age of parliament, has now seen a wealth of legislative documents and records from the period digitised and catalogued. Papers, bills and journals from the halls of Westminster palace are to be made available online today at an unveiling held at the House of Commons . The scheme is part of the latest stage of the British Official Publications Collaborative Reader Information Service (BOPCRIS) project to digitise British Official Publications dating from 1688 to 1995.
